The act
Start with Gus Abiz while wedding guests settle in, then let him follow the room as conversation gives way to people on their feet. His approach is personal and present, with the set adapting to the energy in front of him rather than holding one mood all evening. Brazilian born and based in Sydney, Gus has 14 years in music and has performed at weddings and private functions. He also leads music programs for hospitals and vulnerable communities, an unusual part of his work that speaks to the attention he gives a room. One, two and three hour sets are available, so you can choose the length that belongs in your day.

Good to know
What to expect
Gus watches how a room is going and plays to it. Early on that might be warm and low, something for people to talk over. Later, if the energy is there, he'll take it somewhere that gets people standing. It never feels like a set list being worked through. He turns up prepared, he's easy to deal with on the day, and the music feels like it belongs to your event rather than being dropped into it.
On the day
Small footprint. About two metres by two is enough performance area. In a larger venue a PA helps, and for smaller events Gus brings his own. Setup takes 30 to 45 minutes, so he's not tying up your room for half the afternoon.
Performance options
Gus Abiz works in one, two or three hour sets, so the booking can be shaped around your run sheet rather than a fixed block. A shorter set suits a ceremony or an arrival period. Three hours covers a full evening across dinner and dancing.
